The St. James Internship Committee is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for you and your business. Through a grant received by the St. James Area Foundation and Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation the Internship Committee will assist in paying for internships for St. James High School Students to be placed in local businesses.

The goals of the St. James Student Internship Program are to:

1) Raise student awareness about entrepreneurship and business opportunities by being exposed to entrepreneurship in St. James and the area that they would not have otherwise been.

2) Provide businesses an opportunity to meet potential successors for business ownership/entrepreneurship.

3) Provide students awareness of local jobs and businesses both presently and after college.

4) Provide businesses incentive and encouragement to actively involve students in their operations and prepare future generations.

5) Expose and provide an opportunity for students to become connected to lifelong St. James connections.

6) Provide job seeking skills for students

The benefit for businesses in having an intern is huge, while the grant and the Student Internship Program help with the costs.

What can you do to learn more about the program? Please join the Internship Committee for a Lunch and Learn where we will go through the program in detail.
